Substance vs. Notion:
Fallacy of the Spatial
Four –dimensional Grid
by
Mark Athanasios C. Karras, Ph.D.
____________

Light travels on the wings of gravity.

The issue is substance versus fantasy: Whereas, gravity is empirical, dimension is conceptual. Light is a manifestation within the function of gravity. The process of Creation begins with gravity and evolves into a content of light, space, velocity, and mass. First is the firmament (the created heaven and earth) and then there is light.^* Gravity and light are synchronous, because light depends on the presence of gravity upon which to ride. In the absence of gravity, light is nonexistent. In the absence of light, gravity persists.

The notion of spatial dimension is the visualization of gravity’s function: it is not a force of cohesiveness. The devised four-dimensional grid is only a descriptive map across the body of the gravitational presence. It is not a force that sustains the cohesiveness of the system and of its individual parts.

Therefore, it is not the ripple effect of the dimensional grid-work that will jettison the earth into space when the sun collapses. It is instead the loss of gravity. The cohesive force that holds the universe in place is central and emanates from the source—the creative locus. Description of the force does not constitute the force. (Refer to the book by this author under the pseudonym, Ayla-Hesperia, [2008]. Seven Gates to Freedom, Awareness and Consciousness. Camarillo, CA, New Byzantium. (ISBN 978-09815772-1-0).

It defies reason and it is unacceptable to discard the understanding of gravity as the paramount cohesive force of the universe: when this is done in support of the notion that spatial bodies bounce around at will on a rubberlike four-dimension conceptual trampoline. It is poetry not fact, which gives license for different, bolder ways to explain what is at play. Gravity is and remains the single motivating force attracting all creation toward the origin. Time, velocity, space, mass are all elements dependent on and attached to gravity—the ultimate constant energy-force emanating from the origin. Furthermore, the concept becomes more arduous when contemplating a sort of alien intelligence . . . folding the imaginary grid structure to bring closer two distant points in the universe. The focus should be on the dominance and manipulation of gravity. Nevertheless, the grid serves as a multidimensional universal map.

Expansion of Western Civilization: from Constantine the Great to Constantinople and Byzantium and onward to America

NEW BYZANTIUM is The AMERICAS
We are sincerely pleased you have come to visit our Site and we extend to you our warmest greeting in the highest tradition of BYZANTIUM. Our Principal goal is to impart to you heretofore intentionally little known facts about BYZANTIUM as the foundation of Western Civilization. We will avoid knowingly withholding the truth as an aim to social disorientation. Practice of historical deception must cease. We hope that you will enjoy our contribution to the fullest. Welcome.
Constantine the Great began his eventful climb in York, England and reached the apex of his achievement in Constantinople, the City that he founded and named after himself (Constantine+Polis [city] =Constantinople). By means of these pages, our readers travel through time, touching upon the early periods, including that of Constantine, of historical Constantinople, and of Hagia Sophia—the nexus of the Christian world—to arrive at places and events of our present day. Our readers reach the outermost limit to which both Eastern and Western Christian groups expanded, bringing forth the flower of Western Civilization. That limit is the Western Hemisphere as a whole, and in particular the coast of California near San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge where the two groups converged as they approached from the North and from the South.
